Looks like the fight to raise taxes on rich people has found its latest ally -- and this one isn’t afraid to use a four letter word or two.

Author Stephen King has thrown his hat into the ring over the debate on taxes, arguing that rich people like himself should pay more in an op-ed for Newsweek/Daily Beast published Monday. King, the author of countless novels, most recently The Wind Through The Keyhole, is just the latest super-rich person to come forward in favor of higher taxes on the wealthy.

With the op-ed King is entering an already crowded field of super-rich Americans advocating for higher taxes on their kind. Warren Buffett famously wrote an op-ed in The New York Times in August arguing that the rich should pay taxes at the same or a higher rate than that of middle-class Americans.

But less-famous wealthy Americans have also called for the government to raise taxes on them. Last year, a group of super-rich Americans calling themselves the “Patriotic Millionaires” sent a letter with around 200 signatures to Congress asking for higher taxes on millionaires.
